IMPROVEMENT IN NECKTIES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 57,76?, dated September4, 1866.

To fait whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, JAMES K. P. PINE, of Troy, in the county ofRensselaer and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedNecktie; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in theart to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this speeiiication.

My invention consists of an imitation necktie, adapted for use with theordinary turndown collar, but constructed separately therefrom, having abody of card-board, paper, or analogous material, with an ornamentaldevice produced upon its plain surface, either in imitation of theordinary neckties, or representing the emblems generally adopted fordenoting the various social organizations of society, such as theMasonic, Odd- Fellows, or temperance orders, or the different branchesof the militarypserviee as the army and navy, or professions or otherbusiness occupations, as an engineer, architect, or a sailor, or anyother proper design, and which may be either stamped, printed,embossed,lithographed, or photographed, or represented in any othersuitablemanner thereon, either in colors or not, according as may bedesired or most agreeable to the taste; and in addition to the above Iattach to the necktie, made of paper or card-board, as described, and inthe proper position thereon, an elastic loop, made either ofindia-rubber or other suitable elastic material, either by cementing it,or in any other proper manner fastening it thereto, by which loop, whenthe tie is to be worn, it can be held upon the neck of the person byplacing it over the button or other device usually sewed to the front ofthe neck portion orbinding of the shirt.

In the accompanying plate of drawings one form of my new and improvednecktie is illustrated, Figure 1 showing it when worn by a person 5 Fig.2, a front view of the same detached from the neck; and Fig. 3, a viewof the back or inner side, showing its loop, by which it is held'uponthe neck.

a ct in the drawings represent my improved necktie, made either of whiteor colored paper, card-board, or any other similar material, of anydesired thickness and stiffness, and of a curved shape, having such alength and width that when placed upon the neck of the person who is towear it, as will be hercinafter described, it will extend under each endof the turned-down portion of the collar, or around the neck asufficient distance to prevent its ends from being seen, and entirelycover the front portion of the neck-binding of the shirt, as in theordinary neckties heretofore used.

The outer or front surface of the necktie, made of paper or card-board,as above described, is ornamented with the design of a bow or knot,b-such as is formedwith the ordinary neckties-0r with any other suitabledesign denoting any of the various occupations, professions, or socialorganizations of society, and either in color-s or not, as may bedesired, which design can be either stamped, printed, or in any otherproper manner represented thereon.

In lieu of stamping, printing, or embossing the design intended to berepresented on the necktie directly upon the main portion of the same,as described, it can be so represented upon a separate and distinctpiece of paper therefrom, and then attached thereto by ccment, mucilage,or by0 any other proper adhesive material; or a piece of woven cloth,silk, or other similar fabric having the desired design may be soattached to the main and paper portion of the necktie; and, furthermore,the necktie can be made of one or more layers or sheets of paper ofvarying or equal thickness, secured together in any proper manner. andof various qualities and neness, it being only necessary that the outeror exposed one of the same should be ornamented with the desired design,either in imitation of the ordinary woven necktie, or representing anyemblem that may be suitable and proper.

c is a loop, made either of india-rubber cord or any other suitableelastic material attached to the inner side of the necktie, and at or`near its lower edge, or any other proper part thereof, by means ofcement or any other adhesive material, or by sewing or by any othersuitable means, and either with or without the covering andholding-piece d, placed upon and over the ends thereof, in contact withthe surface of the necktie, which piece may be secured to the same bycement, glue, mucilage, or any other proper adhesive substances. By thisloop, when lthe necktie is to be worn, it is held upon the neck of theperson, it being placed over the button or other fastening deprinting,embossing, painting, staining, or vice for the collar, usually sewedupon the otherwise.

front part of the neck-binding,` of the shirt. The above specificationof my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letsigned byine'this 20th day of April, 1865.
